>> your site is still broken in FF, You really don't get it do you? My site is, <b>and will remain</b>, "broken in FF" for all of the forseeable future. Because I really do not care of FireFox users can see it or not. FF users are so tiny a portion of my potential audience that their loss would not even be noticed. There's relatively little in that market that I'm interested in.
If I were to "prioritize my tasks", making my site FF friendly would be, oh... at the bottom of the list. >>or [you] have a hunch that the rest of the world might not use >> or accept an open source project used mainly by developers >> whom couldn't give two shyts about a bug icon for the app, Uhhhhm. I think I already said that. But thank you for making my point, for me, again. As for "broken", what you are refereing to is the facr that the buttons at the top don't work in FF. That's because of a particular coding choice that I deliberately made. IE quirks mode will let you wrap an entire table cell inside an anchor, thuse making the entire cell a hot spot, not just the text inside that cell. In other words, you can do this in IE and it works ( < = [, etc ): [a href="a.html"] [TD style="background:url(images/button.png);"] This is a Link [/TD] [/a] In ie, clicking ANYWHERE in the entire cell will trigger the link. When I absolutely must support other browsers (I first discovered the prob with Safari), I will wrap the inner text inside another anchor with the same href. Ugly, but it works when I just HAVE to support non-ie browsers. >> to me it seems you would rather use this discussion >> group more as your personal soap box, so that you >> can point your finger at people and devs here, while >> you rant about your superior coding abilities. Hey, I didn't bring it up. I made a suggestion. That's all. If they didn't like my suggestion fine. Say "thanks, we'll keep your number on file. Call you when we know something..." Say nothing. Ignore me. Hell, come right out and say "We actually like the logo just the way it is and we have no intention of changing it to suit you or anyone else." Hell, I'd respect a guy who came back atcha like that! But they/he didn't. The first thing he did was basically call me a liar. "I think it looks like a roach." "It looks nothing like a roach." "So, now you are telling me what I think?" That ain't gonna end well. Then I repeat for emphasis. "But really, when I look at it I see a roach. " Thenthey/he get's smarmy and sarcastic. I'm thinkin', "Damn this is customer service is some good stuff. I gotta get me some of that." Then all the rest of you jump in. Tim with "so what your'e saying... and putting words in my mouth., and kara with an outright "You're an idiot!" Then Tripp starts talking about his dick and asking me questions about mine (is this a public restroom, or what?).... Again, like I said. The zealot/snobish mentality comes out and it's off to the race. >> news flash, if FF doesn't matter so much, why are you >> using a FF plugin, and further more why are you posting >> on a dev group for this said FF plugin...?? This plugin is >> designed for web app devs whom use FF, not the >> mainstream end user, explain y it matters? It's very, very simple. ONE of the projects I'm working on right now is a public facing website and it DOES need to be standards compliant and MUST support Firefox. As well as Opera, NS, early MOZ, IE, Gecko and whatever the hell else is out there in the open source "jungle." Furthermore, I LOVE working in FF because it is a vastly superior browser than IE, and has all these great plug ins LIKE FIREBUG! But when a corporate Intranet application's gotta be done fast, and it's gotta be rock solid reliable.... Sorry. No browser warriors allowed. It's IE all the way. "I program in python. Me in perl. I'm a GNU fan... Dont forget Gecko..... Hey, I prefer Hippo! That and Rhinocerous is a pretty cool tool, too..." Seriously, folks. If you want to get market penetration (shut up, Tripp. Don't even go there...;-) a little attention to naming convention might be helpful. I'm not gonna rush out and buy "easy peasy" to trust my business data to. I'm not sure how much trust I should put in a product whose author thought a suitable animal to describe it was a lizzard. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
